GBM TO BE RELEASED SOON!

[soloist]

With the other big console makers busy showing off their next-gen consoles, while its own Revolution has remained shrouded in secrecy, Nintendo's big hardware-related announcement at this year's E3 was the Game Boy Micro, a teeny, tiny version of the Game Boy Advance. The company has announced that the Micro will be shipping to stores on September 19. No price has been announced yet. <

>The new handheld weighs in at a featherweight 2.8 ounces and measures 4 inches by 2 inches by 0.7 inches, which is only slightly larger than an iPod mini. Despite its diminutive size, the handheld will retain the full capabilities of the Game Boy Advance SP. The Micro will also feature an interchangeable faceplate, much like the Xbox 360 and Nokia cell phones. This feature is part of Nintendo's attempt to market the Game Boy Advance to a
oader, hipper audience. <
